Every week I find myself developing recipes that utilize the abundance of late summer produce. Tomatoes, zucchini, cucumber, and herbs seem to be in every meal I prepare lately. This summer veggie pasta salad is loaded with protein from the chickpea pasta and the smokey chickpeas. It is filled with fresh produce and everything is topped with an oil-free jalapeno dressing.
